The main proposals are:
□ The province would place
more emphasis on advice and assis
tance than on its current role of
supervising and approving local
planning decisions.
□ Municipalities, where appropriate,
would be given autonomy to make
planning decisions. This will apply to
municipalities which have the resources
and capabilities to handle increased
planning responsibility
n The public would have better
access into the planning process.
Municipalities will have to extend
public notification procedures to
people who will be affected by
planning decisions.
l’ To speed up the process,
the Ontario Municipal Board would
act only as an appeals body
A copy of the White Paper
has been made available to
municipalities, planning boards
and other interested groups.

Land. Ontario has over one
million square kilometres of
it. It's important to all of
us that every kilometre is put
to the best possible use, now and
in the future.
That’s why Ontario has a Planning
Act. It’s the legal framework that
determines how land should be used,
and in what form development should
take place.
Under the present Act, munici
palities wishing to pass bylaws
relating to the use of land go to the
Ontario Municipal Board for
provincial approval.
In recent years, however,
the provincial government’s role in
municipal planning has been
changing. A committee established
in 1975 took a close look at the
Planning Act to see how it could
be adapted to suit the changing
needs of the municipalities as
well as to make the procedures
more efficient.
After getting reaction to the
report of the Planning Act Review
Committee, the government has
now produced the White Paper
outlining its position on
revising the Act.
